Why didn't I see the trend/connections at that time???

Hi Margaret,
It sounds like when you ran your coffee shop, it was the place to be!
I'm sure if I'd have lived near there, I'd have been there on a regular basis!
These kinds of places (in my experience), where customers can easily get to know one another (thanks to a friendly owner or staff, facilitating the conversation), are not so common...
Best wishes!
Dien
